Data management

Data Management is a set of practices and techniques used by researchers to ensure that their data is organised, structured and easily reusable for future research

Resources

  • Data and Databases: Data Ethics

    EN
    When producing and processing humanities data, very often deal with information about people – unlike in for example physics or chemistry, the primary subjects of our research may be thinking, feeling beings, and that means that we have significant ethical and moral considerations in how we go about our data projects. This resource will detail methods and techniques developed to create and process datasets without compromising ethics.
  • Data and Databases: Data Management and Storage

    EN
    The data you generate in humanities and social science projects may well need longer term storage beyond the scope of your own research project. Medium to long term data storage is vital for allowing other scholars to examine and test your data and models, and ensuring open access to your data is an increasingly prominent issue. This resource will guide you through a thoughtful discussion of Data Management and Storage.
  • Git Version Control via Command Line

    EN
    This article introduces the main concepts in Git and basic Git commands that can be used from the command line. Understanding these commands will help you with using Git in a code editor, the Git desktop and other options, like GitHub online.
  • Git: VS Code

    EN
    Getting access to the data on GitLab is different on all three operating systems. This post shows how to use the code editor VS Code with its graphical user interface for working collaboratively in Git with Windows, Mac and Linux.
  • Git Collaboration

    EN
    This short course will help learners understand how to work with Git in a collaborative setting such as teamwork or group projects, and how to make use of platforms like GitHub or GitLab to complete that work.
